October 18, 2000
PRNewswire
LAS VEGAS

MGM MIRAGE (NYSE: MGG) today reported earnings of 42 cents per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2000, compared with 10 cents per diluted share in the 1999 third quarter. Excluding preopening expenses and extraordinary items, the company reported a 29% increase in earnings per share to 45 cents per share for the 2000 third quarter, up from 35 cents per share in the prior year's quarter. These third quarter results exceeded the average estimate of 36 cents a share from analysts polled by First Call Corp.

Net income before preopening expenses and extraordinary items soared 73% to $73.2 million in the 2000 quarter from $42.4 million in the prior year's quarter as a result of record revenue and operating cash flow ("EBITDA"). These results reflect the continued strong performance from the company's casino and hotel operations, improved operating margins, and the impact of the historic acquisition of Mirage Resorts, Incorporated ("Mirage Resorts") on May 31, 2000. Revenue and EBITDA rose 172% and 171%, respectively, representing the seventh consecutive quarterly increase in revenue and EBITDA on a year-over-year basis.

On a pro forma basis to account for the Mirage Resorts acquisition in both years, revenue grew 8% to $1.1 billion while EBITDA rose 26% to $335.8 million, despite a slightly lower table game hold percentage in the recent period. Pro forma same-store net revenue increased 4% while same-store EBITDA grew an impressive 21%.

"Our business strategies are working as evidenced by the exceptional same-store operating performance across our broad-based portfolio," said J. Terrence Lanni, Chairman of the Board of MGM MIRAGE. "We have experienced strong occupancy company-wide in the current quarter, and future booking trends across all segments look solid going forward."

                      Company-Wide Operating Results

The company's consolidated net revenue of $1.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2000 set an all-time record, up 172% from the prior year's quarter of $400.4 million. Net revenue benefited from the acquisition of Mirage Resorts, which contributed $660.1 million in net revenue during the 2000 third quarter, and was aided by the incremental net revenue from MGM Grand Detroit, which commenced operations on July 29, 1999. EBITDA soared to an all-time record $335.8 million, up 171% from $123.9 million in the 1999 quarter. This increase reflects a full quarter contribution from Mirage Resorts and from MGM Grand Detroit. The company's 31% overall EBITDA margin remained consistent with the prior year's quarter.

"When we acquired Mirage Resorts we set ambitious goals in terms of cost savings, revenue enhancements and non-strategic asset sales," said James J. Murren, President and Chief Financial Officer of MGM MIRAGE. "We are well ahead of those targets in every respect. Annualized savings of approximately $117 million have been achieved, leverage has substantially declined, while marketing and technology strategies to build revenue are being implemented. We will continue to maximize the productivity of our assets, which are considered the best in the industry."

MGM Grand Las Vegas -- The City of Entertainment

MGM Grand Las Vegas -- The City of Entertainment produced net revenue and EBITDA of $193.7 million and $50.3 million, respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2000. This compares with $200.5 million and $50 million in the 1999 period. Both net revenue and EBITDA were affected by lower casino revenues as a result of a decrease in the table game hold percentage. These decreases were offset by a 10% growth in non-casino revenue. EBITDA margins continued to improve in the 2000 third quarter to 26%. Despite the lower casino revenues, casino volumes continued to outpace those of last year, as third quarter table game and slot volume grew 3% and 7%, respectively. Both table games volume (excluding baccarat) and slot win were all-time records for this property. Non-casino revenues benefited from record highs in room, and food and beverage revenue. Room revenue rose in the 2000 third quarter despite a 2% reduction in the available room nights due to a room-remodeling project, which was completed in August 2000. While occupancy decreased slightly to 99.2%, the average daily room rate ("ADR") increased 10% to $103 from $94 in the 1999 third quarter, while revenue per available room ("REVPAR") increased by $9 to $103.

Bellagio

Bellagio produced net revenue of $260.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000, a 6% increase over the $245.5 million reported in the third quarter of 1999. Ongoing expense reduction efforts led to a 5% decline in quarterly operating expenses, with a resulting 42% increase in EBITDA to $86.7 million in the 2000 third quarter. Quarterly EBITDA margin increased from 25% to 33%, a record for this two-year old resort. The growth in revenue was broad-based, with casino and non-casino revenue increasing 6% and 7%, respectively. Casino revenue benefited from a marginally higher table game hold percentage. Strong room, food and beverage, and entertainment results drove the increase in non-casino revenue. ADR and REVPAR each increased by $17 to $157 and $155, respectively, over the 1999 third quarter.

The Mirage

The Mirage also achieved strong increases in net revenue, EBITDA, and EBITDA margin versus the third quarter of 1999. Net revenue increased by 11% to $156.2 million, while EBITDA increased by 31% to $40.4 million. EBITDA margin was 26% versus the 22% recorded in the 1999 third quarter. Every category of non-casino revenue showed significant growth over the prior year. Entertainment revenue was particularly strong. The continued success of Siegfried and Roy, which had additional performances this quarter, as well as Danny Gans, who has played to sold-out audiences since his April debut at The Mirage, led to an $8.1 million increase in entertainment revenue. ADR and REVPAR each increased by $7 to $112 and $110, respectively and room occupancy increased slightly to 98.7%. Slot revenue for the third quarter of 2000 was an all-time record for The Mirage, growing by 12% over the 1999 third quarter, which more than offset small declines in table game volume and hold percentage.

New York - New York

New York - New York produced net revenue of $56.2 million during the third quarter, up 7% from $52.5 million in the prior year's quarter. EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2000 was $24.5 million compared with $23.7 million in 1999. EBITDA margin remained impressive at 44% during the 2000 third quarter. The increase in net revenue was a result of a 5% increase in casino revenue and a 9% increase in non-casino revenue. Casino revenue was higher in the 2000 third quarter as a result of a 6% and 5% increase in table game and slot volume, respectively. Non-casino revenue benefited from higher room revenue due to an increase in ADR from $79 to $84 and higher REVPAR from $77 to $83 during the 2000 third quarter. Room occupancy increased slightly to 98.6%.

Treasure Island

Treasure Island achieved significant increases in quarterly net revenue and EBITDA on a year-over-year basis, as it has each quarter since the September 1999 completion of a major room refurbishment program. Net revenue increased 12% to $95.4 million, while operating expenses were relatively flat, resulting in an increase of 51% in EBITDA, to $27.8 million. EBITDA margin increased from 22% in the third quarter of 1999 to 29% in the 2000 third quarter. Casino and non-casino revenue grew by 13% and 11%, respectively. Table game and slot revenues each showed double-digit increases over the prior-year period, as did room and entertainment revenue. Table game revenue benefited from an increase in hold percentage, while the increase in slot revenue was due to increased volume. Hotel revenue benefited from an 8% increase in available room nights as well as a $4 increase in ADR to $88 and an increase in REVPAR of $5 to $88. The growth in entertainment revenue was attributable primarily to increased ticket pricing. Management is currently adding more seating to meet the strong customer demand for Mystere.

Primm Properties

The Primm Properties (Whiskey Pete's, Buffalo Bill's and the Primm Valley Resort located in Primm, Nevada and two championship golf courses at the California/Nevada Stateline) produced net revenue for the 2000 third quarter of $63.1 million and EBITDA of $19.7 million, representing a 31.2% EBITDA margin. This compares with net revenue of $63.1 million, EBITDA of $19.3 million, and an EBITDA margin of 30.6% during the 1999 third quarter.

Golden Nugget Properties

The Golden Nugget in downtown Las Vegas produced $7.5 million of EBITDA in the 2000 third quarter, a 22% increase from the $6.1 million reported in the third quarter of 1999. Net revenue was relatively flat at $43.7 million, as increases in hotel and food and beverage revenue were largely offset by a small decline in casino revenue and a decline in entertainment revenue resulting from the elimination of showroom entertainment at the Golden Nugget. EBITDA at the Golden Nugget Laughlin doubled to $0.9 million, benefiting from a room refurbishment program which had resulted in an approximately 29% reduction in available room nights in the 1999 third quarter.

MGM Grand Detroit

MGM Grand Detroit produced net revenue of $106.7 million and EBITDA of $43.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000 when compared with net revenue and EBITDA of $72 million and $25 million, respectively, for the 64-day period in the 1999 third quarter. Management continues to focus on MGM Grand Detroit's profitability as evidenced by the 40% EBITDA margin in the 2000 third quarter. MGM Grand Detroit's free cash flow has allowed the company to reduce debt on its outstanding Detroit credit facility from a high of $181 million to its current balance of $85 million.

Beau Rivage

Beau Rivage continues to show earnings improvement, reporting the strongest quarterly operating results since its March 16, 1999 opening. Net revenue grew to $84 million and EBITDA increased to $20.3 million. This compares with $80.5 million and $17.4 million in the third quarter of 1999. EBITDA margin increased from 22% to 24%. The increase in net revenue is primarily attributable to growth in casino revenue, with increases in both table game and slot revenue. The increase in table game revenue reflects an increase in volume as well as an improvement in hold percentage. The increase in slot revenue resulted from a 21% increase in slot volume offset in part by a lower hold percentage. Hotel revenue increased 4% as a result of increases in occupancy and REVPAR. While ADR decreased $3 to $89, occupancy grew from 93.9% in the 1999 third quarter to 98.5% in 2000 while REVPAR grew by $2 to $88.

Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo reported net revenue of $69.6 million and EBITDA of $23.4 million compared with $65.3 million and $20.3 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 1999. The company's 50% share of this joint venture's results contributed $9 million to operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2000.

MGM Grand Australia

MGM Grand Australia reported net revenue of $9.8 million and EBITDA of $4.3 million in the 2000 third quarter compared with net revenue of $10.6 million and EBITDA of $4.3 million in the 1999 period. MGM Grand Australia's EBITDA margin grew from 41% in the 1999 period to 44% in the 2000 quarter. The decrease in net revenue and the flat EBITDA quarter-over-quarter is due to a lower currency exchange rate. MGM Grand Australia's actual net revenue and EBITDA in Australian dollars increased by 5% and 15%, respectively.

Corporate Activities

On September 20, 2000, the company and Park Place Entertainment sold their respective interests in the MGM Grand -- Bally's Monorail, LLC to The Las Vegas Monorail Company, a Nevada nonprofit corporation, thereby constituting the first mile segment of a future four mile, seven station, nine train public transit monorail system. Upon completion, which is anticipated in the first quarter of 2004, the elevated monorail will connect the MGM Grand Las Vegas, Paris, Bally's, the Flamingo, Imperial Palace, Harrah's, Las Vegas Hilton and the Sahara to the Las Vegas Convention Center, representing direct access to over 25,000 hotel rooms. With state-of-the-art Bombardier M-VI monorail trains arriving at each station every four minutes, a trip from the MGM Grand Las Vegas to the Las Vegas Convention Center will take approximately 13 minutes, including all stops.

On September 21, 2000, the company and Boyd Gaming broke ground on the $1 billion Borgata resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The 50-50 joint venture development will be the first new resort in Atlantic City in 13 years and the largest hotel in the market when it opens in 2003.

The Borgata is the first development on MGM MIRAGE's 120-acre H-Tract site located in the Marina District of Atlantic City.
